Nordman Fir

One of the most popular Christmas trees

One of the most popular Christmas trees the Nordman Fir (Abies Nordmanniana), also known as Caucasian fir, originates in the mountains south and east of the Black Sea, in Turkey, Georgia, Turkey, Georgia, Russian Caucasus, North Armenia and northwest Azerbaijan. It occurs at altitudes of 900–2,200 m.

These are generally bushy trees, which have thick needles and have very good needle holding qualities. They can be, however, some of the expensive of all the trees because of factors like the time they take to grow and the extra work that is involved with growing a premium quality tree.

The Norman Fir is an extremely popular tree known for:

its ability to retain its needles for longer in an indoor environment.

It has non-pointy flattened needles with dark green soft foliage

Pleasant and specific soft aroma

This tree will usually last around four weeks in good condition before it begins to dry out.

Sizes: 100-600cm/3-9ft

Price Range: £44- £12 a ft

Fraser Fir

A new entry to Christmas Trees in UK

The Fraser Fir (Abies Fraseri) is named after the Scottish botanist John Fraser (1750–1811), who explored the southern Appalachian Mountains in the late 18th century. This tree is sometimes referred to as Southern balsam or Southern balsam fir. In the past, in some instances Fraser fir was also known as “She balsam” because of the resin filled blisters on the tree’s trunk.

Fraser Fir is a pyramid shaped tree, which reaches a maximum height of about 80 feet and a diameter of 1-1.5 feet. Its strong branches are turned slightly upward which gives the tree a compact appearance.

It has flat, shiny, dark-green needles-like leaves, arranged spirally on the twigs but twisted at their bases to form 2 rows on each twig. The foliage is dense and soft – an ideal tree for indoors, where space is limited. The tree’s distinctive aroma will add to the magical mood and feel of Christmas.

Norway Spruce

The Traditional Christmas Tree of old.

Norway Spruce (Picea Abies) is one of the most important species on the continent, native to Northern, Central and Eastern Europe There are probably around 100 forms and variations that have been identified and named. Norway Spruce is a large, fast-growing tree, growing 35–55 m (115–180 ft) tall and with a trunk diameter of 1 to 1.5 m (39 to 59 in). It can grow fast when young, up to 1 m (3 ft) per year for the first 25 years providing there are good conditions. The shoots are orange-brown and hairless.

The leaves are needle-like with blunt tips, 12–24 mm long, quadrangular in cross-section (not flattened), and dark green on all four sides. It has branchlets that typically hang downwards. It is very closely related to the Siberian spruce (Picea obovata), which replaces it east of the Ural Mountains, and with which it hybridises freely.

This is a tree to buy closer to Christmas as it loses its needles slightly faster, however is a very reasonably priced tree as it grows very fast. This old favourite has a beautiful aroma that will create that Holiday sensation for the whole family.

Meet Santa in the Grotto and get a present

Gower Fresh Christmas Trees is also the home of Santa and his magical Winter Wonderland. When you come to buy your fresh Christmas tree, you can enter the snowy kingdom. Along your journey inside the snowy land you will see a family of polar bears relaxing in the snow, trees that come alive and speak, elves busy making toys and wrapping presents. You can see Santa’s sleigh being loaded ready for the Christmas Eve flight, and you can even sit in it and imagine what is like to ride in it. At the end of your adventure and possibly a snow shower or too, you will meet Santa and his reindeer, and maybe if you have been on the ‘GOOD’ list, get a present. If you listen carefully you can hear Santa calling:

Gower Fresh Trees is home to Wales’s largest reindeer herd. To date we have over 34 reindeer, some of which have lived at the farm for over 14 years. Our herd are very much part of the family and roam freely and happily in their 20 plus acres. We feed the reindeer their native moss which they love and is imported from Scandinavia. Most of the reindeer have been born at the farm and are close to the heart of the business. We are very passionate about the well-being and welfare of all of our reindeer, as opposed to some less fortunate around the country.

Grower of the Year 2017

Gower Fresh Christmas Trees winning the British Christmas Trees Grower Association , grower of the year award 2018, and accolade of supplying the Prime Minister with a tree for 10 Downing Street and trip to meet and greet Theresa May in London

GOWER FRESH CHRISTMAS TREES

Gower Fresh Christmas Trees is home to the now fifth generation Morgan family and is run by Robert Morgan who grows over 500,000 Christmas trees on the Gower Peninsula. The family-run farm is home to the largest reindeer herd in Wales and also home to Father Christmas on the run up to Christmas Day. Our first trees were planted in 1997 with the help of Roberts father the late David Morgan. Unfortunately the rabbits ate our first few thousand trees and we over-fertilised the remainder but we carried on and continued planting and nurturing up until 2006 when we were able to sell our first trees. Now in 2018 we are Wales’s largest Christmas Tree growers and solely grow and specialize in growing high quality Christmas trees at the farm. This hard learning curve culminated in Gower Fresh Trees winning the British Christmas Trees Growers Association “grower of the year award 2017” and the accolade of supplying the Prime Minister’s tree which stood proudly outside 10 Downing Street and Robert taking a trip to meet Theresa May in London in December 2017.

A visit to Gower Fresh Christmas Trees on the run up the Christmas can be a magical day out for the whole family. You can wander many acres of Christmas tree fields, choose your perfect tree as a family, meet Father Christmas and his elves in his magical winter wonderland and feed his reindeers both in the grotto and the fields!!!

Pick Your Own Fresh Christmas Tree
